The Primitive/Figurative works of art are inspired by my travels to exotic lands and reverence for deeply spiritual places - all the pieces reflect a love of pure, vibrant colour and mystical native cultures I respect and admire. As I embrace my individual spirituality, I also find that the artworks echo my inner world in a fascinating reflection of life's struggle and achievements.

Original 2-dimensional works are created in chalk, pastel, and pencil, while 3-dimensional "wall art" is constructed from exotic recycled and found objects.

Primitive/Figurative art hangs in private homes and commercial establishments in Canada, USA and Australia and has been featured on Women's Network Television series 'Off The Map'.
